INTERESTING 70 ladies

As long ago as the days Of the Greeks
and Romans, a slight elancee figure in tho
fair sex was admired, and stoutness was
looked upon as a deformity. Martial rid
iculed fat women and Ovid put large
waists in the first rank of his remedies
against love. Several garments were tried
then as now, not only to restrain an ex-
panding figure, but to enhance the beau

it can be adjusted to any desired shape Or

but will always keep its shape and posi-
ton allowing the wearer to sit down with
perfect ease and comfort. without having
the annoyance of rearranging her hustle

readily as any ordinary underskirt- 1t is
without doubt the best device ever in
vented to give grace, elegance aud style to

instance, no matter how perfect the natu-
raj figure or how poor the shape of the

experience with the complaints incident

their modes of dress, and TO what can DO

the construction of the corset and

The "stone Roll"

About two miles north of Hill Church,
in Pike township, Rerks county, Pa, is
real natural curiosity called the 'stone roll
Stab Roll 1t is a large rocky surface,
about 200 feet long and about 100 feet high
at the highest point. This surface for
about 80 feet from the bottom is as smooth
as the roof of house. The upper part is
little more uneven. The position Of the
surface is little sleeper than the roof of
house. Down this surface hundreds of
stones were thrown, whence it received its
name, estah roll" 1t is supposed that
there are about 10 feet of stones laying at
the bottom Of it, which have been rolled
down. All the loose stones within about
fifteen yards, from the size Of head up to
as large as the people were able to roll them
have been rolled down. They make ter
ribIe noise rolling down the rocky surface,
and are generally broken to atoms when
they come down. This place is often Wis
tied by the young people Of that vicinity
on Sundays during the summer season. 1t
is said that there were as high as fifty per-
sons there at one time. The height has
been considerably reduced, as there were
stones broken off at the top, and also filed
up at the bottom, so that the original height
might have been about 120 feet. Since
the loose stones are all rolled down the
young men are trying the experiment of
climbing up. Only one is said to have
succeeded in getting up last summer. The
following story is related, which is said to
have happened some years ago: A hound
was after fox; the latter ran down an en-
bankment and away. The hound followed,
but was dashed to pieces down a steep hill.

How Jenny Lind Sang CLONE,
Sweet Home"
From the BROOKLYN Magazine.

From tie Brooklyn Magazine.
Perhaps the most thrilling quarter of an
hour Of John Howard Paynes life was
that when Jenny Lind sang "Home, Sweet
Home" to him. The occasion was the
Jenny Lind concert in Washington, the
night of December 18th, 1850. The as
sembly was perhaps the most distinguished
ever seen in a concert room in this country.
The immense National Hall, hastily CON
structed for the occasion on the ruins of
the burned National Theatre, was filled to
overfowing. Among the notables present
and occupying front seats were President
Fillmore, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay,
General Scott and John Howard Payne.
Jenny Lind opened with the "Casta Diva,
and followed with the "Flute Sopg" Gin
which her voice contested rivalry for purity
and sweetness with a flute in the Duet
then the famous ''Bird Song" and next on
her programme the Greeting to America.
All the pieces were applauded apparently
to the full capacity of an enthusiastic au-
dience, aud Mr.. Webster, who was in his
most genial after dinner mood, emphasized
the plaud by rising from his seat and max
ing Jenny profound bow as if responding
for the country to her "Greeting." But
when the Swedish Nightingale" answered
the encore by turning in the direction of John
Howard Payne and giving "Home Sweet
Home" with all the wonderful tenderness,
purity, and simplicity fitting both the words
and air of the immortal song, the difference
was at once seen between the mechanical
applause called out by display of fine vocal
ization, and that elected by the "touch of
nature that makes the whole world kin.
Before the first line of the song was COM
pleted the audience was fairly 1off its feet, .
and could scarcely wait for pause TO give
expression to its enthusiasm. People ordi-
narily of the undcmonstrative sort clapped,
stamped, and shouted as if they were mad,
and it seemed as if there would be no end
to the uproar. Meantime all eyes were
turned upon Payne, small-sized, elegantly
moulded, gray-haired gentleman, who blush
ed violently at finding himself the centre
of so many glances.

The Occupations Of Great Men.

The Medical Age has been investigating
this subject, and says that the father Of
Demosthcnes was blacksmith; of Eurip-
ides, dealer in vegetables; of Socrates, a
mediocre sculptor; Of Epicurus, shep-
herd; of Virgil, an innkeeper- Columbus
was the son Of wool carder; Shakespeare,
of butcher; Luther, of miner; Crom-
well, of brewer; Sixtus V, of a swine
herd; Linnaus, Of poor country minister;
Franklin, of soap boiler; Rousseau, Of q
matchmaker; and Murat, Of an innkeeper.
The writer concludes that the mothers OF
these men may have been the source from
which their genius was derived, and, IN
deed it Is known that some Of them were
women Of more than ordinary excellence.
